Iit is me Tesfaye Mehari from Ethiopia. I have been graduated from Arba Minch University ( Institute of Technology ) in Applied Geology on 2, June ,2011. I stayed in the university four years in studying geology. During my stay in the university I took all geology and related courses which are designed for bachelor degree program and having taken the courses I knew and understood more about earth sciences in general and geology in particular. Geology in nature is field oriented department. Geologists spend most of their lives in field works, this is actually a must if one wishes to be geologist because geologists without field works are not feeling, understanding and simulating how earth was operating, is operating and will operate in the future. I am familiar to field works because I have experienced in the three petrologies ( sedimentary petrology, igneous petrology and metamorphic petrology ). Moreover, I have built my knowledge through my thesis project. My thesis project was on the ” Investigation and Exploration of Suitable Quarry Sites “. From the thesis I not only investigated and explored quarry sites but also I knew the engineering properties of construction materials. When I was in the university I engaged in environmental club called ” Rift Valley ” . This club is all about how to keep and sustain our planet earth at least an the universe at large. From this club I have further strengthened my understanding about earth sciences. I have also involved in some charity clubs like, HIV/AIDS and Anti-corruption clubs while I was in the university. Currently, I am working as an instructor in Haramaya University, Ethiopia.
I am at the beginning of my journey to geology. The journey is so long and takes time to finish. Actually journey to geology has no an end but we may close to the end if we have got our belts fasten. I am feeling good that the journey that I stand for is promising but possible if some one ( to whom i am applying ) is pushing me up to make the journey true and real. what I am requesting now is to have scholarship chance in master program and to dig through it in the fields of geology or in any other related fields. My request is suspended in the air and I will be glad if my request is being welcomed and succeeded.
Best regards.
